Could this be Nintendo's best or worst decision EVER?

That’s judging by what the firm’s bosses are saying about Sony and Microsoft’s forays into the next big gaming realm.

Legendary designer Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime have both had a go at the fledgling VR headsets that were impressing gamers at last week’s E3 computer conference in Los Angeles.

And they both basically said VR is not inclusive enough when Nintendo is aiming to create family games that everyone can get involved in.

Mr Miyamoto said: “I've seen virtual reality, and we experiment with virtual reality and different technologies.

“We're quite interested in it, but at the same time, Nintendo's philosophy is that we create products that are going to be played with everyone in the living room.

” And we don't feel that virtual reality is a good fit for that philosophy.”

He added: "And so, while I can't say whether there will be a technology in the future that's a virtual-reality-type experience that fits with that or not, we're here at this conference to showcase the products that we're going to be selling in the next year or so.

“We don't have anything in the near future that fits that, and so that's why we're not showing anything in the virtual reality space this year."

It came after Mr Fils-Aime told Polygon that he wasn't impressed by VR.

He said: "What we believe is that, in order for VR to move forward, you need to make it fun and you need to make it social.

"I haven't walked the floor, so I can't say in terms of what's on the floor today, but at least based on what I've seen to date, it's not fun, and it's not social. It's just tech."
